Ethical Education Campaign

    The Humanist Society of Victoria is campaigning to be allowed to deliver ethical lessons to the children of parents who don’t want their children to attend special religious instruction in Victorian Government schools.

Some typical ethics lessons are given below, but for access to our full 'turning-page' manual please contact Harry for password at 61(3) 9870 8998 and then click on Manual in left menu.

Please support us by writing to the Honourable Bronwyn Jane Pike, Minister for Education, Level 1, 2 Treasury Pl, East Melbourne 3002 recommending our approach.
